Initial DDR

Gaymworks got rid of 3rd Mix and got Max 2. It's 1.50 for 3 songs. Rip off like what. Golfland got rid of their Disney's Rave. Waterworld has it though (I don't know where it is). I've been studying para para more often recentley. Pretty fun. So far Golfland still wins as the only location in Arizona for IIDX, PPP, and DMX.

Golf N Stuff in Tucson will have a tourny at the end of the month. Supposbly Gamezone, a bastard child company of Gameworks is having another tourny. According to Depth and Toki, they always said they blowed.

Today is my 18th birthday. Anyway, Fiddlesticks has 4th Mix Plus for 50cents for 3 songs. I also got DDR Club Mix on DC. It's ok.

DDRMAX is coming to the U.S. this November if you care. And Golfland now has upgraded Guitar Freaks and Drummania. DDRMAX is now out in Japan on PS2. And MAX3 is now confirmed. Don't expect me to update that often now because I'm starting college in less than a month.

Played some Konamix at Fry's Electronics today. It sucks awhole lot. I say stick to the imports. It's good for a domestic release, but in general it's a piece of crap and not worth your time if you're a hardcore fanatic who plays the imports. That's all I gotta say.

Finnaly got to play Pump It Up (the ass) at superstition springs mall. It's like their 3rd mix or something or whatever the hell they got, but I don't give a damn. It's 50 cents for 3 songs. The game kind of stinks like everyone says. The stage lay out is kind of lame, the song selection sucks, and Kpop is Gay Pop. But some good advantages what PIU has over DDR are that you can choose between single or double. All I can say is, if you hate Kpop, you'll hate this piece of shit, too.

Golfland was fun last night. Played Max 2 and it's awesome. Also played some IIDX and PPP. I was going to take pictures but I forgot to get my friends camera and my video camera was way too big to carry around. If you haven't played Max 2, PLAY IT NOW!!!

By the way. If you care, Konamix is now out. I heard it's good for a U.S. release, but if you own any of the imports, it's probably not worth buying.

A piece of shit PC version being released by KoA is going to be released soon. Jeez, it will have 48 characters and 40 songs (and a majority of them suck). If you are interested, check on KoA's site or DDRFreak.

Tommorow is prom (I'm not going), but post prom is at Golfland from midnight to 5. Have a school ID, 20 bucks, etc. I already pre paid my ticket. But anyway, 5 hours of free bemani. And Max 2 will hopefully be there since SHGL Boss gave it to MGL Wednesday. I thank him for his support to the bemani community for the past 2 years.

Gathering turned out great yesterday at Mesa Golfland. I once again apologize to the SST people for being late and leaving early. But shit happens. Anyway, due to the low activity of the message board, I may close it down.

Just a reminder that there will be a gathering at Mesa Golfland this Saturday at Mesa Golfland during the afternoon. Tucson people will be there, too. Hoping this to be the biggest gathering ever for AZ Bemani. And Gilbert High students remember post prom $10 now.

Word from EmuProphet from SST who got word from the boss of Southern Hills Golfland in California that Mesa Golfland now has Beatmania II DX 5th Style and hopefully will get 7th Style soon. Good news for Arizona Bemani fans since we have demanded it for some time. And I still remain the only one that wants Pop 'N' Music =(. And part 2 of my article on my newbie days will be up sometime within the month.

Well, I guess we will have the April 20 gathering. It will be Damicci's birthday. I may make a seperate Para Para Paradise page. Still don't know. If any of you go to Gilbert High School, then you know on April 27th from 12 to 5 AM, post prom will be held there. I'll mostly be at the PPP and DDR machines. I'm not that easy to find. I look like a teenage Jackie Chan :p. If you can make it to the gathering, it will be in the afternoon on April 20th, at Mesa Golfland.

Well, I'm reconsidering postponing the gathering for now. I'm still gonna do some edits and try to work on my para para routines. I'm still trying to think of more ideas what to do with this site. I have some funny interviews of me, Toki and Depth

No major updates it's just that I for now have postponed the April 20th Mesa Golfland gathering because enough people cannot make it. But I may go to Golfland this weekend or Saturday and try to take some pics if I can get a digital camera off someone.

Happy Easter from Initial DDR. No major updates. Added some profiles. Still need some help with stuff like personal tips on how to play DDR whether it be scoring or freestyling. Need some more locations and that's it. Also the April 20th gathering may be canceled due to some people from Tucson that are unable to make it.

Coming Soon. A new webpage on the bemani scene in Arizona. We just started building and hope to give you more later. If we get the gathering together on April 20th, we will have pics and movies up. Of DDR, DMX, PPP, GF, KBM, BM, and DM
